Sandro awaiting Sherwood exit at Tottenham to decide future

Tottenham midfielder Sandro has stated he will wait to see who comes in to replace Tim Sherwood at White Hart Lane before making decisions about is future.

The 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder was described by Spurs boss Tim Sherwood as ‘not up to it’ following his return from injury and left out of the Tottenham team that faced Fulham last month. The midfielder appears to have been somewhat unhappy with his manager’s decision, judging by his comments about the coach this week.

There have been a number of new arrivals to the squad since he arrived and despite his status as a key player for Spurs over the last few seasons – some of his performances have been outstanding when he has been fully fit – he has struggled this term to force his way back into the team after recovering from a calf injury suffered in December.

His injuries in recent season have, of course, not helped but neither do comments from his manager Sherwood that he is not up to it, as the boss said last month. Whether Sherwood meant physically or otherwise is unknown but Sandro seems to be considering a move away from White Hart Lane, judging by his suggesting he is happy to have his name linked with a move to Sao Paulo. There will indeed likely be a new coach, new everything this summer at White Hart Lane but will there be a new club and new challenge for Sandro?
